Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Mr. Eddie Burke:

I will finish the point on the subsidiarity issue. We do not see a subsidiarity issue here. We think this is something that has to be done at EU level. We would prefer it is done at the International Maritime Organization level but, as it is, the EU has taken it on board to lead the way internationally. It is not something we see being done on an ad hocbasis by different member states as, otherwise, the whole thing fractures. There needs to be a concerted and consistent approach across the board. We do not see an issue there. I will hand over to Ms O'Brien.
